The third installment of the Iron Man franchise is to be in co-production with China, Disney has announced, BBC reported.

In a joint agreement, DMG -- a Chinese entertainment and marketing group -- will invest in Iron Man 3 and manage the co-production process on the Chinese side. Along with Disney's China unit, DMG will also distribute the film in the country.

"We know Chinese audiences love Iron Man. So we are going to add Chinese elements and a Chinese story to Iron Man 3," Stanley Cheung, Disney's General Manager for Greater China, said.

Iron Man 3, starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle, will begin filming this year, with a US release date penned in for 3 May 2013.
